I'm not sure if this is a confirmation of this or not, but running under a
win98 machine, under the original B20, sed 'pauses' when trying to compile
the cygwin source code.. it usually occurs about the third or fourth file
into the makefile generation run. If you press CTRL-Z, it closes the file
as 0 bytes, and moves on to continue the rest of the script, pausing here
and there as it generates various makefiles. Using CTRL-C causes sed to
lock-up for about 3-5 seconds and then it unlocks and the whole thing quits
back to dos, as well it should.

Again, I can't confirm that this is a real bug, but in light of the other
problems people are having with SED, it seems to be a good chance.

System Information:
PII 333
64MB RAM
Losts of free HD Space
